As IKEA’s first test laboratory outside Sweden, IKEA Test and Training Center (ITTC) strives to offer product tests, technical training and technical support of the highest quality. Here in Shanghai, top expertise is gathered in a number of different areas, and the test lab has a test capacity that is necessary to achieve the high demands the company has on its products regarding quality, health and safety.

Since 2010, ITTC has conducted tests on IKEA’s furniture, toys, textiles, leather, packaging materials and chemical products. The new test lab covers a full 15,000 square meters spread over four floors and conducts over 200,000 tests per year. To be able to handle so many tests requires good and efficient air quality. Fumex has played an important role in this.

Per Lundmark, General Manager at ITTC says:
– When we built our lab, we wanted to create an uninterrupted and problem-free work environment, which placed high demands on the supplier. Our previous good experiences with Fumex products and the knowledge that they can live up to our high requirements decided the choice of supplier.

And of course it was. At Ikea’s first test facility in China, Fumex point extraction TERFU has been used for many years. For the new test lab, our latest model of point extraction for the lab environment was delivered – the appreciated Fumex ME which has a new design, lower noise level and not least a lower energy consumption.

– ITTC in Shanghai is a fine example of how we have both the resources and products required to create high-quality solutions, regardless of the size of the project or its geographical location, concludes Stefan Johansson, Export Sales Manager at Fumex.
